What is the premise of the podcast 'What Did You Do Yesterday?'
Podcasts, there are millions of them.
Some might say too many.
I have one already.
I don't have any, because there are enough.
Politics, business, sport, you name it, there's a podcast about it, and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day.
But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man? No.
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters.
We try and say it at the same time, Max.
What did you do yesterday?
What did you do yesterday?
What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more.
Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton.
And I'm David O'Doherty.
Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello and welcome to whatever episode this is of What Did You Do Yesterday? David and I are walking slowly through the fields of Norfolk recording this intro bit.
Hello, listeners. I would like to disassociate myself from that little riff by Max right there.
How does Adam Buxton describe his typical morning routine?
It is a delight, however, to have on our podcast today David. It's impossible to be doing this and not to be influenced by what Adam's been doing over the last 10 years with his, well, his, I guess, Ramble Chat is the song. And that's kind of what he does. What a laugh to have him here.
Do we need to introduce Adam Buxton? People who listen to podcasts probably are aware of Adam Buxton. He's got enough listeners. We don't need to point them in that direction. Do you remember the Milkman in Tennessee?
he might know that's true yeah adam buxton came to the small screens of britain in his early 20s with adam and joe show with joe cornish and then started making his own stuff and putting it online in the era of youtube parties remember where people would just play interesting youtube clips after each other adam buxton i think would have had like five of my top 10 of all time and then at some point along the way he uh he's done bits of acting and podcasting his podcast is i think it's the essential with the exception of this one the essential podcast of our essential podcast if you're interested in
what happened before yesterday. I don't know who is, but if you are, it is probably a good one to listen to. He's also got his second book out. His best-selling book, Ramble Book, is his first one, which my wife, Jamie, loves. And he's now written his second one, I Love You Bye, where he, and I've got the blurb here, explores the joys of comedy. The book is cut through with many of his hilarious trademark asides. It is also, David, remarkably tender and thoughtful. It is a memoir about growing up, growing old, figuring it all out. And Adam discusses the difficulties of navigating adulthood, losing loved ones, and working out how to be a parent. So go and buy it. And it will be out in an audio book. We know that for a certainty.
Yeah. But we've just finished recording and it was a total pleasure to have him on.
This is what Adam Buxton did yesterday.
Adam Buxton, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.
Now, let me explain how this works, Adam.
What insights does Adam share about his new memoir?
We ask you questions about what you did yesterday. What? Yeah. No more, no less. We're going to start at the start and go right through till you shut your peepers at night.
I thought this was all about the manosphere. That's what I was told. See, the thing is, Adam, I'm a big admirer of your podcast, but I have noticed that occasionally you stray beyond the previous 24 hours. Sometimes you don't even touch on it at all with some of your guests. I thought that's quite an interesting approach to podcasting.
Yeah, that's true. Actually, sometimes I will record an episode. I mean, well, David knows this. We've recorded together. I still haven't put out the episode that you and I recorded, not because it wasn't superb audio joy, but because I'm so chronically badly organized and just record in such an ad hoc way.
